Overview
10/30/08: New procedure for accessing SciFinder Scholar from off-campus
See Off-Campus Access
SciFinder Scholar is a client-server program used to access information in selected Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) databases: CAPlus, CARegistry, CAREACTS, CHEMCATS, and CHEMLISTS. It permits searching in a variety of ways: author name, research topic, substance identifier (CAS Registry Number, chemical name), chemical structure/substructure, or chemical reaction. See Databases and Full-Text Links for database contents.
Scifinder Scholar is fully accessible in all UW-Madison Libraries. If you are accessing this page from a campus library public computer, click HERE to launch SciFinder Scholar. This will only work on a campus library public computer (not on a DoIT Info Lab computer located inside a campus library).
In addition, the client may be installed on local workstations for access outside campus libraries. See Client - Remote Access and Client Distribution for more information about local installation, including information for off-campus users.
